Tibial plateau fractures are one of the most common intraarticular fractures. Open reduction and internal fixation procedures is the common technique used to treat it however, it jeopardises the soft tissue. So, the use of a minimally invasive approach to fix plates has been recommended. As a result, the so-called internal fixators were created. So, the present study was conducted with an aim to study the functional outcome of tibial plateau fractures with locking compression plates by using modified Hohl and luck evaluation. A prospective observational study was conducted among 30 patients with fractures of tibial plateau (Schatzker classification Type I,II,III). 73.3% cases had excellent and 16.6% had good outcomes in the study. 6% had stiffness of knee, 3.3% had instability, 3.3% had infection and 3.3% had implant failure. We conclude that better preoperative surgical planning and correct application of principles of LCP (Locking Compression Plate) and MIPPO (Minimal Invasive Percutaneous Plate Osteosynthesis) technique will yield excellent biological fixation for tibial plateau fractures
